Is Fear Part of Judaism?

Tuesday, August 18, 2026 • Duration 25:14

Exploring the Rebbe's attitude toward "Yira Tata", a baseline fear of G-d that is usually associated with accepting the yoke of heaven and a fundamental fear of sin.

In Chassidus, where our focus is often love and awe of G-d, is there room for this baseline fear? And in the month of Elul, when the King is in the field smiling at us, is Yira Tata still important?

Family Planning

Tuesday, August 11, 2026 • Duration 33:47

The Rebbe's campaign against family planning. In these letters, the Rebbe describes family planning, birth control, and the choice to space out children as a destructive ideology that undermines the foundations of the Jewish home and completely misunderstands what a gift children are. While allowing room for individual cases in which it is dangerous for the mother to get pregnant, the Rebbe pushes back against the trend to limit or delay having children for any other reason.

Bas Mitzvah Parties

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 22:23

The Rebbe emphasizes the importance of a Bas Mitzvah, and often explains it in the same light as a Bar Mitzvah. But when it comes to Bas Mitzvah parties, the Rebbe is less enthusiastic.

Refusing to Endorse Books

Monday, July 20, 2026 • Duration 29:13

The Rebbe refuses to issue approbations to books in many letters, routinely citing "the custom of the Rebbe's house" or lack of time to properly review the manuscript. This Shiur looks at a sample of those letters and provides a few guesses as to why our Rabbeim have the custom not to provide Haskamos, even when they clearly approve of the book being published.

The Moon Landing & Space Exploration

Monday, July 13, 2026 • Duration 39:53

The Rebbe's approach to space exploration, with specific attention to how his letters and Sichos addressed religious objections to the Moon landing in 1969, from those who suspected that it would contradict verses and prayers implying that the moon is unreachble, to those who worried that scientific achievements of this caliber who engender hubris. In characteristic form, the Rebbe not only solves the "problem" of the moon landing, but turns it into a lesson in the service of G-d.
